Verdi Productions and Producer Chad A. Verdi are pleased to announce the start date of their next feature film, Bleed for This, on November 10, 2014. The production is seeking up to three thousand extras for a fight scene that will take place on Wednesday, November 12, 2014 at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, RI.
